How to Swipe the Finger
Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or
authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:
Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch the
sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you when in portrait mode, and
sideways when in either landscape mode or Laptop mode.
While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you when in
portrait mode, and sideways when in either landscape mode or Laptop

The following illustrations show the recommended way to swipe your finger
over the fingerprint sensor.

■
Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressed-on too hard
Fingerprint reading may fail if the center of the fingerprint is not
touching on the sensor, or when finger is swiped while pressing hard.
Make sure that the center of the fingerprint is touching the sensor
before swiping.
■
Always confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl so that it is swiped
along the centerline of the sensor.
■
When fingerprint reading is not successful
There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped too
quickly or too slowly. Follow the onscreen instructions to adjust the
speed of the swipe.
